AND EARS STOVE PLANTS. 
CLERODENDRON SPECIOSUM. 
This new hybrid variety is a cross obtained between the well-hnown C. BalfouHl and C. splendem. 
It partakes ofthe cliaraoter of the latter in the immensely large and dense dichotomous cymes, la 
which the flowers are produced, but instead of the calyx being pure white, as in C. Balfourii, it 
has a reddish hue, and the corolla, instead of being scarlet, is of a dee^p rose, slightly shaded 
with violet, the marginal portions being of a bright vermilion. 3s. Qd. and os.

COB/EA PENDULIFLORA. 
The flowers of this elegant stove climber are produced from drooping peduncles 8 to 10 inches m 
length ; corolla green, tubular at the base for about an inch, then divided into lobes, which are from 
3 to 4 inches long, pendulous and wavy, and about i inch broad. The figments of the stamens are 
about 3 inches long, of a dark red purple colour, thus forming a contrast to the green lobes. 
Our first knowledge of this graceful and distinct species was obtained from its flowering at Kew, 
since which Mr. W. B. has imported it from Caraccas. 2,5. Od. and 3s. Gd.

COCHLIOSTEMA JACOBIANUM. 
A magnificent Commelinaceous plant, producing deep green broad oblong-lanceolate leaves. The 
flowers are fragrant, of a soft violet and blue colour, and borne in immense panicles upon a peduncle 
about a foot long. It has been introduced from Ecuador- 15s., 1 and 1^ guinea. 
CORYNOSTYLIS ALBIFLORA. 
The genus Corynostylis belongs to the family of the Violets, and consists of semi-scandent shrubs, 
with alternate leaves, and long-stalked flowers, the lower petal of which is produced behind into a 
long horn or spur. 
The present species was found by M. Wallis on the banks of the Amazon, on the borders of the 
forests in the provinoe of Para. It is a shrubby plant, of a trailing or climbing and remarkably 
free-blooming habit, bearing ovate-acuminate leaves, and lovely white horn-shaped or trumpet- 
shaped flowers, about 2 inches long, suspended on long thread-like peduncles. These interesting 
flowers taken in profile present the appearance of some long-spurred Tropaohim, while on the front 
view they bear a resemblance to those of a gigantic Violet. 
The remarkably floriferous habit of this species marks it out as a novelty which should be wel- 
comed by all lovers of beautiful plants. 15^.

CROTON AUCUB/EFOLIUM. 
A very distinct and fine variety from the South Sea Islands. The surface of the foliage is of a 
beautiful dark glossy green, thickly studded with yellow blotches, the mid-rib and veins being 
slightly tinged with pink. 3s. Gd. 
CROTON CORNUTUM. 
A distinct and very compact-growing variety, prettily blotched and spotted with yellow, and 
having leaves frequently varying in form, the greater number of which — from a peculiar extension 
ofthe mid-rib — have a horn at the apex, thus giving the plant a very distinct character. 15s. 
CROTON HILLIANUM. 
A compact-growing kind, with glossy variegated foliage, well adapted for vases or table decora- 
tion. The leaves are from 6 to 7 inches in length by 2 to 3 in width, the upper surface being shining 
purplish green, the mid-rib and veins bright crimson, and the under surface dull purple. It is 
remarkable for the reddish yellow efifoot of its foliage. 3s. Gd. 
CROTON INTERRUPTUM. 
The foliage of this plant assumes the most varied and peculiar forms ; some of the leaves are of 
the ordinary shape, in others the mid-rib forms at the tip a prominent horn, as in the Scolopendrium 
vulgare cornutum ; other leaves again have only a portion of the lamina developed, there being 
sometimes an interruption of 2 to 3 inches, while others assume a decidedly spiral form. 
The plant is exceedingly effective, both as an exhibition variety or for decorative purposes, the 
leaves being of a dark green colour, with bright red mid-rib. 3s. Gd., 6s., and 7s. Gd.
